• Welcome to agrobdmi app on DeepSoFreadyTV,

13
00:00:41,840 –> 00:00:43,280
we’re making tonight,

14
00:00:43,280 –> 00:00:46,040
where you have a lovely, lovely guest on our show,

15
00:00:46,040 –> 00:00:50,240
Rosefein, all the way from Kumbria.

16
00:00:50,240 –> 00:00:52,720
How are you tonight, Rose?

17
00:00:52,720 –> 00:00:54,120

• I’m great, I’m doing pretty much

18
00:00:54,120 –> 00:00:56,120
having you on the show, let’s talk to you.

19
00:00:56,120 –> 00:00:58,640

• Yes, I’m good, I’m good, good to have you on the show.

20
00:00:58,640 –> 00:01:01,160
So, our listeners are home,

21
00:01:01,160 –> 00:01:03,960
would like to know what you started in music.

22
00:01:03,960 –> 00:01:09,040

• Well, well, first of all,

23
00:01:09,040 –> 00:01:12,720
I hit a big birthday and my friends slept together

24
00:01:12,720 –> 00:01:14,840
and bought me some recording time.

25
00:01:14,840 –> 00:01:15,680

• What?

26
00:01:15,680 –> 00:01:16,520
(laughing)

27
00:01:16,520 –> 00:01:19,400

• And I could not believe it,

28
00:01:19,400 –> 00:01:20,440
I just thought it was about

29
00:01:20,440 –> 00:01:23,040
the smallest present ever.

30
00:01:23,040 –> 00:01:25,800
And then I was too scared to go and use it.

31
00:01:25,800 –> 00:01:26,640
(laughing)

32
00:01:26,640 –> 00:01:29,600
Because I just sort of hope I gotta do.

33
00:01:29,600 –> 00:01:32,720
Anyway, I eventually, I think after 12 months,

34
00:01:32,720 –> 00:01:36,920
I talked to the courage to go to this studio.

35
00:01:36,920 –> 00:01:41,920
And I did every call, you know, some colors.

36
00:01:41,920 –> 00:01:46,920
And I was terrified, my legs wouldn’t shake

37
00:01:46,920 –> 00:01:48,360
and everything, and then,

38
00:01:48,360 –> 00:01:50,400
when I heard it, I was saying something,

39
00:01:50,400 –> 00:01:51,240
I can’t believe it.

40
00:01:51,240 –> 00:01:52,440

• Right, ’cause that was that,

41
00:01:52,440 –> 00:01:54,280
was that your first time in this studio, then?

42
00:01:54,280 –> 00:01:56,440

• Yeah, it was the first time in this studio,

43
00:01:56,440 –> 00:01:58,400
I couldn’t believe it.

44
00:01:58,400 –> 00:02:02,280
So, I had these, I had these comments that I’d done

45
00:02:02,280 –> 00:02:04,960
and I still had a little bit of time left.

46
00:02:04,960 –> 00:02:05,800

• Yeah.

47
00:02:05,800 –> 00:02:09,800

• And then, as they say, I wrote my first song,

48
00:02:09,800 –> 00:02:15,120
it’s 2016, it’s only 2016,

49
00:02:15,120 –> 00:02:17,920
and I had it for a while,

50
00:02:17,920 –> 00:02:20,960
and the lyrics had the tune,

51
00:02:20,960 –> 00:02:23,320
but I couldn’t get it down anywhere,

52
00:02:23,320 –> 00:02:25,040
and I had friends trying to help me,

53
00:02:25,040 –> 00:02:26,760
but it wasn’t working out,

54
00:02:26,760 –> 00:02:28,960
that how it wasn’t my head.

55
00:02:28,960 –> 00:02:32,080
So then, I looked at the courage and I got in touch

56
00:02:32,080 –> 00:02:36,600
with Tom Tyson and Reed Studios in every month,

57
00:02:36,600 –> 00:02:40,120
and I said, look, I’ve got what I think is a song.

58
00:02:40,120 –> 00:02:44,360
And I just sent it to you to see if you think you can help me.

59
00:02:44,360 –> 00:02:47,080
So, I think he said, oh, Rose, he goes,

60
00:02:47,080 –> 00:02:48,960
I think you’ve got something here.

61
00:02:48,960 –> 00:02:50,280
(laughing)

62
00:02:50,280 –> 00:02:53,040
Come up to this studio, we’ll get John,

63
00:02:53,040 –> 00:02:55,760
and it’s a common play taught me on the piano.

64
00:02:55,760 –> 00:02:56,600

• Right.

65
00:02:56,600 –> 00:02:59,800

• So, I went up and I had to sing it to him.

66
00:02:59,800 –> 00:03:00,640

• Yep.

67
00:03:00,640 –> 00:03:03,920

• And within, and I worked, we had the song down,

68
00:03:03,920 –> 00:03:07,680
and I had a demo with a guy called Clawnet,

69
00:03:07,680 –> 00:03:10,280
and that was my song, you got me,

70
00:03:10,280 –> 00:03:14,080
and I was like, oh, wow, this is really good.

71
00:03:14,080 –> 00:03:16,840
I listened to it some more, and then I saw,

72
00:03:16,840 –> 00:03:18,960
I really could do with some guitar on it,

73
00:03:18,960 –> 00:03:20,480
and I knew a guitarist,

74
00:03:20,480 –> 00:03:23,040
and he did a music, so I got into it with him,

75
00:03:23,040 –> 00:03:26,320
and I said, would you have a listen to this song?

76
00:03:26,320 –> 00:03:27,160

• Yep.

77
00:03:27,160 –> 00:03:29,880

• And see if he would like to put some guitar on it,

78
00:03:29,880 –> 00:03:31,840
and he said, oh, yeah, do I like it?

79
00:03:31,840 –> 00:03:34,680
So, he came up and he put the guitar on it,

80
00:03:34,680 –> 00:03:39,680
and that was it, you got me, and I registered it with BBC,

81
00:03:39,680 –> 00:03:44,400
it’s a juicy, and then played this,

82
00:03:44,400 –> 00:03:45,720
and it got played quite a lot,

83
00:03:45,720 –> 00:03:48,160
and then he always said, what a great song.

84
00:03:48,160 –> 00:03:50,440
And then I was like, really, I was so excited,

85
00:03:50,440 –> 00:03:53,920
and that was the first one I did, and that got me into it,

86
00:03:53,920 –> 00:03:57,280
and I thought it was gonna be by one and only,

87
00:03:57,280 –> 00:03:59,840
and I thought it was on three, a little album,

88
00:03:59,840 –> 00:04:01,240
with the cover, it’s not that good,

89
00:04:01,240 –> 00:04:05,000
and I called it by one and only, because it was out of it.

90
00:04:05,000 –> 00:04:08,240
I thought that was it, and then the next thing I came up

91
00:04:08,240 –> 00:04:13,240
with another song, and this was about my grandson Isaac,

92
00:04:13,240 –> 00:04:16,360
he has autism, and he’s got non verbal autism,

93
00:04:16,360 –> 00:04:21,360
so he doesn’t speak, and I wrote the full show the way,

94
00:04:21,360 –> 00:04:26,880
and it was kind of quite a juicy number,

95
00:04:26,880 –> 00:04:29,520
and I picked up a song as well,

96
00:04:29,520 –> 00:04:32,920
and sorry, the stuff didn’t go in on G8, so annoying,

97
00:04:32,920 –> 00:04:34,440
and I don’t know how to stop it.

98
00:04:34,440 –> 00:04:35,280

• Oh, right.

99
00:04:35,280 –> 00:04:39,400

• So, yes, I wrote that song,

100
00:04:39,400 –> 00:04:44,400
and it was really, that I realized

101
00:04:44,400 –> 00:04:47,560
that it’s a saxophone on it, and to think the same,

102
00:04:47,560 –> 00:04:49,040
well, what is a saxophone?

103
00:04:49,040 –> 00:04:52,320
So, I was going up to the studio, and I was like,

104
00:04:52,320 –> 00:04:56,040
well, I had to sort of like do saxophone noises,

105
00:04:56,040 –> 00:04:59,720
and then, I got all right, you’ve got you, so…

106
00:04:59,720 –> 00:05:01,480
(laughing)

107
00:05:01,480 –> 00:05:04,280
I said to a friend, and then another song on the outside,

108
00:05:04,280 –> 00:05:07,360
I knew it was a saxophone, and I said to the whole gym,

109
00:05:07,360 –> 00:05:10,680
and he, you know, putting some saxophones,

110
00:05:10,680 –> 00:05:12,440
and he said, “Oh yeah, we’d love to, so,

111
00:05:12,440 –> 00:05:16,000
“that was Rosaluma, and she came down,

112
00:05:16,000 –> 00:05:19,120
“and she put the saxophone on it, and I loved that song.”

113
00:05:19,120 –> 00:05:24,120
And he told about it, and my grandson wasn’t in tune,

114
00:05:24,120 –> 00:05:26,200
he would come and get hold of your hand,

115
00:05:26,200 –> 00:05:30,480
and drag you to show you what it was trying to communicate to you.

116
00:05:30,480 –> 00:05:31,320

• Yeah.

117
00:05:31,320 –> 00:05:36,320

• And that’s been, you know, a really lovely song to do,

118
00:05:36,320 –> 00:05:40,000
and it’s got a video for that as well, I made a video.

119
00:05:40,000 –> 00:05:43,360
I have seen a video, it’s a lovely video, but like…

120
00:05:43,360 –> 00:05:48,360

• It’s a few, since then, you have a friend in South Africa,

121
00:05:48,360 –> 00:05:52,000
who has helped each of his friends across the world.

122
00:05:52,000 –> 00:05:55,440
Just in this last two and a half years, three years,

123
00:05:55,440 –> 00:05:57,240
since I’ve been doing music, honestly,

124
00:05:57,240 –> 00:06:00,800
and cannot believe how many people have contacted me,

125
00:06:00,800 –> 00:06:04,840
and I’m friends with, and after the collaboration

126
00:06:04,840 –> 00:06:07,680
with very few people,

127
00:06:07,680 –> 00:06:12,320
I just think, “Can I start singing?”

128
00:06:12,320 –> 00:06:14,800
“Does it really want to do something with me?”

129
00:06:14,800 –> 00:06:16,040

• It’s like…

130
00:06:16,040 –> 00:06:17,280

• It’s beautiful.

131
00:06:17,280 –> 00:06:19,440
It’s beautiful, because you’ve got a role in talent,

132
00:06:19,440 –> 00:06:23,280
you say, “Yup, the way, the composition,

133
00:06:23,280 –> 00:06:26,160
“everything, the package is just right.”

134
00:06:26,160 –> 00:06:30,120
You see, and that attracts a lot of attention,

135
00:06:30,120 –> 00:06:32,360
and it attracts a lot of people.

136
00:06:32,360 –> 00:06:33,840

• It’s basically…

137
00:06:33,840 –> 00:06:35,200

• That’s what it is.

138
00:06:35,200 –> 00:06:36,200
That’s what it is.

139
00:06:36,200 –> 00:06:37,760

• Anyway, so we’re gonna take a short break now.

140
00:06:37,760 –> 00:06:38,480
Please don’t go away.

141
00:06:38,480 –> 00:06:41,360
Listen to “I Probe the Art” on Deep Stop Radio

142
00:06:41,360 –> 00:06:44,640
with every hit dance, and I love Lee, lovely,

143
00:06:44,640 –> 00:06:47,040
a singer and a songwriter all the way

144
00:06:47,040 –> 00:06:48,560
from “Combre at Rose Fane.”

145
00:06:48,560 –> 00:06:51,080
And without shortly, please don’t go away.

146
00:06:51,080 –> 00:06:53,660
(upbeat music)
